El mejor McEwan: un ingeniosísimo juego literario que aborda las pasiones y pulsiones humanas.
Año 2119. Las cosas no van muy bien en el planeta. Hay amplias zonas inundadas como consecuencia de un catastrófico accidente nuclear. Y los habitantes de este futuro distópico miran con fascinación los albores del siglo XXI, a sus ojos una época de esplendor cultural. Así lo considera Thomas Metcalfe, un solitario investigador académico que está indagando qué sucedió en la llamada Segunda Cena Inmortal, celebrada en 2014.
Era la segunda porque en los anales literarios figura con ese nombre otra anterior, que en 1817 reunió alrededor de una mesa a William Wordsworth, John Keats y Charles Lamb, entre otras luminarias de su época. Casi doscientos años después, el matrimonio formado por el celebrado poeta Francis Blundy y su esposa Vivien convocaron una nueva velada en la que Francis leyó ante los asistentes un poema de amor escrito en homenaje a su mujer y titulado «Una Corona para Vivien».
Esa composición, de la que no se conserva ninguna copia, centra las pesquisas de Thomas Metcalfe, porque podría proporcionar información clave sobre el pasado. ¿Qué ocurrió con el texto? ¿Qué ofrecía? ¿Algún tipo de mensaje cifrado? ¿Alguna pista incriminatoria? ¿Cómo era en realidad la relación de la pareja, celebrada en ese regalo de amor escrito?
Con ecos del Pálido fuego nabokoviano, en el que también había unos versos que desarmados por una lectura erudita proporcionaban llaves secretas, Ian McEwan ha confeccionado un impecable e implacable juego literario. Una novela distópica que deviene ejercicio de erudición: persigue desentrañar un enigma y acaba abordando pasiones y pulsiones muy humanas. Una obra maestra de madurez y plenitud literaria. Un regalo para el lector.
